    Figures & Tables(5)
    (a) XPS analysis for the Ru 4d orbitals of the samples prepared with O2/Ar ratios of 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% and in ambient atmosphere conditions, red: Ru+5, yellow: Ru+4, green: Ru+3. (b)–(d) Rietveld analysis of the SXRD patterns for (b) Ca2RO3.87, (c) Ca2RO3.73 and (d) Ca2RO4.09.
    Thermal expansion property: (a) relative length change of ceramic cylinders measured by dilatometry; (b)–(e) changes of lattice constants, lattice volume, and (f) the Ca–Ru distance for (b) Ca2RuO4.09, (c) Ca2RuO3.87, and (d) Ca2RuO3.73 with temperature. The insert shows the octahedron rotation about the c-axis and tilt about an axis in the Ru–O(1) plane.
    (a)–(c) Temperature dependent changes of (a) orthorhombic strain, (b)–(d) Ru–O(1) bond lengths in (010) and (100) directions, and Ru–O(2) bond length of Ca2RuO4.09, Ca2RuO3.87, and Ca2RuO3.73, (f) RuO6 octahedra.
    (a) Temperature dependence of (a) resistivity and (b) the field-cooled and zero-field-cooled susceptibility of Ca2RuO3.87, Ca2RuO3.73, and Ca2RuO4.09. Insertion: the magnetization curves at T = 10 K.
